Collect evidence is a keyword action introduced in Murders at Karlov Manor.[1][2][3]
Description
Collecting evidence involves a player exiling any number of cards from their graveyard with combined mana value equal to, or greater than, N (the evidence number).
Collecting is done as a cost, mechanically similar to Bargain or Kicker, where doing so is optional and gives a bonus to the spell if "evidence is collected". It can also be used on Ward costs.[4]
Rulings
- If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.[5]
- Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.
Example
Example
Analyze the Pollen
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 8. (Exile cards with total mana value 8 or greater from your graveyard.)
Search your library for a basic land card. If evidence was collected, instead search your library for a creature or land card. Reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
